There's worse places to be waiting for a swell than Bali. And it ain't just the smoothies and banana jaffles that make the downtime so good, it's the fact that even when there's apparently no waves it's still better than 90% of the time back home.

For the last three days the pros have whiled away their time in the flat Balinese stuff waiting for the next real swell to hit (BTW it's due sometime today).
